Twenty-four Solar Terms

The summer heat is the season when the summer heat is over. The “place” contains the meaning of hiding and terminating. As the name implies, the summer heat indicates that the summer heat is nearly over. "The 12th Settlement of the Moonlight" commented: "In mid-July, at the end of the month, it is also necessary to stop the summer heat." The three-volt weather at this time has passed or is nearing its end. Therefore, "the summer heat stops here." All over the country, there are also proverbs about “suming cold in summer”, which shows that the summer heat is gradually receding. However, the weather has not yet appeared in the real sense of autumn and winter, when the hot sunny afternoon is no less than the season of summer and summer, which is what people often say "fall tiger, poison like a tiger" argument. This also reminds people that there will be hot weather in autumn, and this can be regarded as a reflection of the summer light. Gu Tieqing, who is also a member of the Qing Jialu, said in his description of the summer heat: “After the local customs have cured heat, the weather is still hazy. It is about another eighteen days before the beginning of coldness; Jinyun: The eighteen pots of summer heat are said to be bathed on the eighteenth day. "It means that we have to go through about 18 days of sweating. At this time, the sun's yellow was 150 degrees, and the almanac records: "The finger is the office for the summer heat, the summer will be retired, the volt and the submarine, and hence the name."

From an agricultural point of view, there are more autumn harvests in the valley. In addition, the autumn rain after the summer heat will often visit us, so the farmer friends should pay special attention to the weather forecast, seize every sunny day, and lose no time to do the autumn harvest work.

Summer heat is in the alternating period of turning from heat to coolness. The yang in the natural world is converged by dredging and tending. The rise and fall of yin and yang in the human body is also converted, and the daily routine must be adjusted accordingly. Into the fall health, the first adjustment is the sleep time, early to bed and early to get up is everyone's. However, the attention of ancient physicians and health care providers to sleep and health is rarely known. In fact, scientific health care requires a comprehensive understanding of sleep patterns and methods.

The theory of sleep of traditional Chinese medicine starts from the unity of materialism and form. It is thought that sleep and wakefulness are the functional states of the yin and yang between the human body and the skeleton. It is a normal physiological phenomenon. It includes several aspects:

One, stay up late yin and yang growth determines the body squat. Due to the operation of the celestial bodies, the natural world is in the process of yin-yang fluctuates. It is manifested by the alternating appearance of day and night. The yin and yang gas of the human body also changes with the growth, so there is an alternation between 寤 and 寐. The ancestors are yang and the lord is yin. It can be said that since human beings existed, there would have been the law of human activity - sunrise and sunset. The “Lingshu Camp Health Association” remarked: “The sun will enter the sun and the Yin will be emptied by the half-night and the general assembly. All people will be lying down, and their lives will be combined and yin will be emptied; “Zhushu·Qianwen” is further explained as follows: “Yang Qi does his best at the end of the night, and her yin and qi are full, then she witnesses it”;

Second, the physiological basis of sleep is the operation of camp operations; the change in people is based on the human business (the business is in the veins, and the gas is full of nutrients), and the gas is defended. The function of the gas is based on the operation, which is most relevant to the operation of the gas. "Lingshu·Wei Qi Xing" said: "The Wei Qi is in the body one night and fifty weeks in the night, and it is 25 nights in Yang at night and 25 in the night." The "Lingshu Camp Health Association" also has the same statement: "The Weiqi line is 25 degrees in the shade, and 25 degrees in the Yang line. It is divided into day and night. Therefore, the gas starts from the sun to the yang and ends in the shade." The "start" mentioned here means getting up and falling asleep. It can be seen that when the Weiqi line is overcast, the yang gas is full and the yin gas is full. Therefore, the shape is static and enters the squat (the human body enters a relatively static state and sleeps); It is shaped and picked up (the human body enters dynamic and wakes up). Therefore, the body's sleep and wakefulness are instigated by the mind, God is quiet, God is moving, and emotional is extremely difficult.

Modern medical research divides sleep into four phases: 1 sleepiness, 2 light sleep, 3 moderate deep sleep, and 4 deep sleep. When you enter the 1st and 2nd phases, you are in a paralyzed state, you are easily awakened, and 3rd and 4th phases are in a state of deep sleep. Generally speaking, you are not likely to be awakened when you are asleep.

The reason why autumn health emphasizes ensuring sleep time is because sleep has good health effects. The "Ten Questions" medical book unearthed in Mawangdui said: "The husband and wife are also non-students. Actress, 胥 (to be) food and the living, 胥 lying from ... .... Therefore, the past (evening) is not lying, no longer a hundred days," not only that people need sleep, any living organisms are inseparable from sleep. That is, without normal sleep, normal life activities cannot be maintained properly.

The role of sleep includes five aspects:

First, eliminate fatigue

During sleep, people's spirits are all kept inside the five internal organs. If the five organs are well-being, blood and tone, body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate are all relatively reduced, and the respiratory and endocrine secretions are also reduced, so that the metabolic rate is reduced, and physical strength is restored. ;

Second, protect the brain

The amount of oxygen consumed by the brain during sleep is greatly reduced. Adequate sleep is beneficial to the storage of energy in brain cells, helping to restore energy and improving mental efficiency.

Third, enhance immunity

Sleep is not only the re-creation process of intelligence and physical strength, but also an important means of rehabilitation of the disease. Sleep can produce more antigens and antibodies, enhance body resistance, so modern medicine often as a treatment of sleep, used to treat intractable pain and mental illness;

Fourth, to promote development

Sleep is closely related to children's growth and development. Children's growth rate is faster under sleep conditions, so ensuring adequate sleep time is one of the conditions for height growth of children;

Fifth, in favor of beauty

Sleep has a great influence on skin fitness. This is due to the fact that in the process of sleep, the skin surface secretion and elimination process is strengthened, capillary circulation is increased, and skin regeneration is accelerated, so that facial skin spasms caused by overwork and skin, fine broken wrinkles are restored during sleep. So, sleep is also a basic guarantee of skin beauty.

Here, we must remind elderly friends that as the age increases, the elderly will lose their blood and yin and yang, and they will suffer from lack of refinement and the phenomenon of less envy during the night. Ancient health workers said: "Shaoyan is a big problem for the elderly," and "ancient and modern Jiayan" believes that the elderly should "sleep in case of sleepiness." This is in line with the viewpoint of health science. In addition, the ancients also emphasized the importance of the midday nap in the sleep regimen (that is, sleeping every day at midnight and at noon). It is believed that at the time of midday, the yin and yang are transferred, and they are extremely prosperous and declining. The imbalance of blood and yin and yang in the body is necessary to calm down. , to Hou complex. Modern studies have found that at 0 to 4 in the night, the functions of various organs in the body have been reduced to the lowest point; between 12 and 13 noon, it is the time when the human sympathetic nerve is most fatigued. Statistics show that naps in the elderly can reduce the incidence of heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the midday sensation means the significance of disease prevention and health care, and it also meets the principles of health care.

If you can normally enter the fourth phase of sleep, your brain will be able to rest well and guarantee the best mental state of the next day. This is what we hope for, and it is also one of the important ways to keep fit in the fall.
